Bigger Close Button ?

Describe the feature
The close button is smaller than the back button. I think It would benefit from having the same size of the back button (easier to click):
Small close button | Large back button

Same thing for the following action buttons, which seems to have inconsistent sizes/shapes:
a. don't you want a small close button because it's a non desirable action to perform (you don't want people accidentally closing a file)
b. if you want the "x" the same size, now your Tab labels won't be centered - because you'll need more padding to the right of the file name in the tab. Which will make it look like a UI mistake by not having the filename string being centered aligned in the tab.
@michealp-coder To answer both of your points:
a. This is not a problem since a confirmation is asked when you close a modified unsaved file.
b. The filename could be left-aligned. This would be more consistent with a lot of softwares on MacOS:
- Tabs taking all width are generally text centered (Terminal, Safari)
- Tabs with a fixed width are generally left-aligned (Chrome, Sublime Text, VS Code, Firefox, ...)
b. The filename could be left-aligned. This would be more consistent with a lot of softwares on MacOS:
Left-aligned is not more consistent.
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) state that tab headings should be center aligned.

@michealp-coder Tabs in zed are aligned on the left side.
And softs that choose this patterns globally align text on the left.
